I like Chris Klein, and I like these types of comedies. This is why I had confidence that The Long Weekend was gonna be a very, very funny movie. I am sad to say I was wrong. I did not laugh at any one point throughout this whole movie. It's a gross-out comedy that's just gross. It's not funny, it's just gross. The story of Ed Waxman (Brendan Fehr), a guy who since babyhood has had a video camera stuck to his face like super glue is not anything new or original. This is not one of my biggest complaints. These movies do not have any intention to be new or original, nor should they. The movie follows how Ed finds his girlfriend videotaping her cheating on him. Ed now has lost his job, and no longer even looks at a video camera. Now, his well-intentioned brother Cooper (Chris Klein) tries to find him love, and just ends up screwing up his life even more (it figures.) The movie at least has an appropriate title, which is still not a good thing. It falls flat at every turn, and the movie is appropriately titled because this weekend is long, tedious, boring, and just plain dreadful.

I have never been fond of watching obvious hilarious intended American teenage movies such as scary movie, American pie, etc etc.the thing is, even the trailers of the above mentioned features were not convincing or pretending the real movie to be any better than those four trailer minutes....when I saw the trailer for The Long Weekend, I got a whole different idea.......it seemed like a fast paced cool and worthwhile comedy movie to me.....last night I rented the DVD, but sadly the whole thing was more than disappointing to me.To cut it shortly: if you've seen the trailer---you have literally seen every 'funny' moment of this film...the sad thing is, in the real movie the 'funny' moments take sooooo long to build up .....you see them coming for miles (hence, having seen the trailer) I don't have anything more to say about this film, except: If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the whole movie, only better, faster, and shorter....Films like these make me wanna scream: FERRIS BUELLER.....WHERE ARE YOU...???!!!!!

excellent,funny,witty all in one.my whole household could not stop laughing. great directing and producing,if you love comedy's then this is sure to be the comedy of the year. Chris Klein is a absolute genius in this, this is sure to make you want to let loose and go with the flow for the festive season. anyone who thinks this movie is a flop must have been watching something else to me,because this is the funniest movie i have seen in a very very long time.enough said go out and watch it for yourself,you be the judge,and please don't be afraid to laugh and let loose,after watching this i want to be having a long weekend myself.now go and watch this movie straight away,don't hesitate

This movie, as was to be expected isn't really great. Even though it's just another comedy focussing on sex jokes it doesn't even make it in that category.I don't think it should be compared to American Pie, it's jokes just aren't funny, at all. It's full of homevideo shots of people getting slapped in the face etc. that have to do with the story. It didn't help that once the movie started with a montage of some of these clips 50% of the audience behind me started laughing hysterically. I don't think I've ever heard people laughing so hard. I'm seriously wondering if they were paid to be there.They didn't make the experience more enjoyable though, although it did make me smile sometimes when ten people behind me were kicking the ground every time someone toppled over. It was really ridiculous.Anyway, I didn't expect much out of 'The Long Weekend' and I viewed it the way it wants to be viewed, a simple sex comedy. But I still think it's not worth watching it. Or at least paying to go see it at the movies. Of course I saw it at a sneak preview so I can honestly say I didn't know what I was in for.If you're gonna watch it, make sure you're extremely bored and don't have anything else to do, I guess it can be entertaining under those circumstances.
